On the way to the GR34 in Côtes d'Armor
It's impossible to visit Saint-Cast-le-Guildo without taking the famous GR34. This trail stretches for over 2,000 km, starting from Mont-Saint-Michel in Normandy and ending its route in Saint-Nazaire in Loire-Atlantique. So, if you enjoy walking, you'll be well catered for. Choose your direction, get your guide book, and let yourself be led to discover the most beautiful Breton gems.
Discover the Emerald Coast by sea
There's nothing better for getting a breath of fresh air than being able to walk facing the sea, with breathtaking scenery. By accessing the Customs Officers' Path From your campsite, head towards Saint-Brieuc and you'll stay almost constantly on the coast. On your way, you walk along the pier at St-Cast, taking a bit of height to admire the view of the port and The Guildo bay And, just a little further on, Fort La Latte. Continuing along the route, there are two «Caps» to pass: Cap Fréhel and Cap d’Erquy! Cliffs, wild coast, lighthouse, panorama, coves: you're going to be spoiled for choice. Then, if you wish to continue the walk, push on to the Pink Granite Coast. Still following the sea along the path, you will thus reach Saint-Brieuc before joining Paimpol, Plougrescant, Perros-Guirec and its rocks of all shapes, its lighthouse, and obviously, its clear waters.
Of course, even for the most seasoned hikers, you'll need several days to complete this route. But we know it's worth it! Get your trekking poles and boots ready!
